Rokinon 12mm f/2.0 Overview

The silver, Sony E-Mount Rokinon 12mm f/2.0 NCS CS Lens is a prime wide-angle lens designed specifically for use with APS-C sized image sensors. Providing a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 18mm and a broad 98.9° angle of view, this lens is well-suited for architectural, interior, and landscape images. Its fast f/2.0 maximum aperture is further beneficial to working in low-light conditions.

Three extra-low dispersion elements and two aspherical elements have been incorporated into the optical design to minimize chromatic aberrations and distortion in order to produce sharper images. Additionally, a Nano Coating System (NCS) has been applied to the lens elements in order to reduce surface reflections and prevent lens flare and ghosting for improved light transmission and more contrast-rich imagery

Would this be appropriate for vlogging? Does it work for close portraits? Does it work for video?
Asked by: dominic
The Rokinon 12mm f/2.0 NCS CS Lens for Sony E-Mount would be appropriate for vlogging due to its wide focal length. However, it would require manual focus and would add distortion the closer it is placed to the subject.

question

Would this lens work with the SLR Magic Anamorphot adapter?
Asked by: derek
No, sorry, the focal length is too short. Depending on the sensor of the camera you are using, 35mm or 50mm will be the correct choices.

question

When using this lens, I get black corners in my pictures, it looks like I am looking thru a tube, is there something wrong with lens, or am I doing something wrong? The viewfinder also shows this black distortion.
Asked by: Anonymous
Sony makes both APS-C and full frame cameras that use the Sony E-Mount. If you are using an APS-C camera and see black corners, something may be wrong and you might want to get it serviced. If you are using it on a full-frame camera then you bought the wrong lens for your camera. The primary symptom of using this lens on a full-frame camera would be vignetting, a darkening of edges and especially dark corners.
